A link using <a> tag will cause to appear random <a> tags after

[phpsns]

I would like to report <a> link bug. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:

### 1. Disable Get Simple WYSIWYG Editor from

Admin Panel > Settings

by unchecking "Enable the HTML editor"


### 2. Create a new page with the following content

Code:

<p>This is a link to <a href="http://google.com">Google<a/>, the largest search engine in the world.</p>

### 3. Now visit the page from the front end

Use browser's view source or Chrome's Developer Tools, you will see other texts enclosed by <a> and </a> out of nowhere, please refer to the attached screen shot for more info


If you get rid of the link and only paste the following content

Code:

<p>This is a link to Google, the largest search engine in the world.</p>

it will be fine.


Thanks!

i think this is the browser trying to fix bad code... This is wrong:

Code:

<a/>

It should be:

Code:

</a>
